Portfolio Positioning as of 12/31/2018

Over the course of the fourth quarter, we increased the portfolio’s allocation to the financials sector with the purchase of an Indian housing finance company and by adding to a position in an Indonesian bank. The purchases increased the portfolio’s overweight position in the sector, relative to the benchmark, the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Small Cap Index.

We also increased the portfolio’s exposure to the real estate sector adding to positions in a Japanese REIT and German real estate investment company. This reduced the portfolio’s underweight position in the sector relative to the benchmark.

We reduced the portfolio’s allocation to the information technology sector with the sale of its position in a Hong Kong-based consumer electronic products company and the decrease of a position in a Japanese system consulting services company. The sales increased the portfolio’s underweight position in the sector, relative to the portfolio’s benchmark.

We also decreased the portfolio’s allocation to the consumer staples sector with the decrease of its position in a Spanish food manufacturer, decreasing the portfolio’s overweight position in the sector, relative to the benchmark.

We increased the portfolio’s allocation to North America, shifting the portfolio’s underweight position to an overweight position, relative to the benchmark. We also increased the portfolio’s allocation to the Emerging Markets to 9.4%, increasing its overweight position relative to the benchmark. The portfolio remains overweight in Emerging Markets and Western Europe and underweight in Japan, the United Kingdom, and Asia Developed, relative to the benchmark.

Market Capitalization Breakdown - Morningstar separates stock portfolio holdings into five market-capitalization groups: Giant, Large, Mid, Small, and Micro. Of the 5000 largest domestic stocks in their equities database, the top 1% are categorized as Giant, the next 4% are Large, the next 15% are Mid, the next 30% are Small, and the remaining 50% are Micro. Stocks outside of the largest 5000 are also classified as Micro.

Weighted Average Market Cap - The average market capitalization of all companies held in the portfolio with each company weighted according to its percent held in the portfolio. The result is based upon a weighted average of the securities held in the fund.

P/B Ratio - A ratio that helps determine whether a stock is undervalued or overvalued. It is calculated by dividing a stock's price per share by its book value per share. The result is based upon a weighted average of the securities held in the fund.

P/E Ratio - Is the weighted average of each holding's P/E ratio (price of a stock divided by its earnings per share). The result is based upon a weighted average of the securities held in the fund.

Portfolio Turnover - This is a measure of the Fund’s trading activity which is computed by taking the lesser of purchases or sales divided by average monthly market value, excluding short-term investments. The resulting percentage represents the percentage of the portfolio’s holdings that have changed over the past year.

The total base return displayed for the Fund does not capture daily cash flow and trading activity and therefore is subject to reasonable variance from the Fund's actual return. Please refer to Lord Abbett International Core Fund Performance Results for the Fund's longer-term returns. The Fund is actively managed and portfolio characteristics, such as individual holdings and sector weightings, may change significantly over time.

The Wilshire Atlas Variance Analysis tool provides a methodology for explaining the difference in performance between a portfolio and its benchmark, based on the decomposition of returns. The user specifies the portfolio, index, link frequency, sector and weighting. The weighting can be shown as beginning, average or end weights and is used for display purposes only.

Average Weight (Portfolio): This is the average weight of each group in the portfolio. Alternatively, the weight at the end of the reporting period, or on average across the reporting period, may be selected.

Base Return (Portfolio): This is the weighted average holding period return for the securities in each group. This weighted average is calculated for each link period using beginning weights and then the resulting values are linked together to calculate the displayed value.

Average Weight (Benchmark): This is the average weight of each group in the benchmark. Alternatively, the weight at the end of the reporting period, or on average across the reporting period, may be selected.

Base Return (Benchmark): This is the weighted average holding period return for the benchmark securities in each group. This weighted average is calculated for each link period using beginning weights, then the resulting values are linked together to calculate the displayed value.

Stock Selection Variance: This is the success of selection decisions within each group versus the benchmark. It is calculated for each link period using the following equation: Stock Selection Variance = WP,G * (RP,G - RB,G), where WP,G = Weight of the group in the portfolio, RP,G = Return of the group in the portfolio, RB,G = Return of the group in the benchmark.

Group Weighting Variance: This is the result of weighting decisions in each group versus the benchmark. It is calculated for each link period using the following equation: Group Weighting Variance = (WP,G – WB,G) * (RB,G – RB,T), where WP,G = Weight of the group in the portfolio, WB,G = Weight of the group in the benchmark, RB,G = Return of the group in the benchmark, RB,T = Overall return of the benchmark.

Total Variance: This is the sum of group weighting and stock selection variances. This represents the amount of total variance that is explained by the selection and allocation decisions for each group.

Wilshire generated returns are calculated gross of fees based on end of day prices and do not capture intraday cash flow, price changes or trading activity, and therefore are subject to some variance from Lord Abbett returns. In addition, Wilshire and Lord Abbett may use different pricing sources and methodologies.

Not Classified securities represent those securities which have not been assigned an official GICS Direct classification. GICS Direct, a joint product of Standard & Poor’s and MSCI, provides industry classifications for more than 40,000 companies and over 45,000 securities. Not Classified securities may include, but are not limited to: Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), pink sheet-listed issues, pre-IPO placements, private placements, secondary issues, open-end funds, closed-end funds, and non-operating establishments.

Under certain circumstances, Lord Abbett may elect to have Wilshire map an ETF holding to the relevant characteristics represented by that ETF’s underlying index in order to reflect the exposure and performance contributed by the ETF to the overall portfolio. When this option is selected, Wilshire will remove the ETF from the Not Classified category and instead allocate the ETF’s exposures across the relevant attributes based on the composition of the ETF’s underlying index.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

A Note about Risk: The Fund invests primarily in foreign small and mid cap company stocks, which tend to be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. or large cap company stocks. Foreign securities generally pose greater risks than domestic securities, including greater price fluctuations and higher transaction costs. Foreign investments may be affected by changes in currency rates or currency controls. With respect to certain foreign countries, there is a possibility of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, imposition of withholding or other taxes, and political or social instability that could affect investments in those countries. These risks can be greater in the case of emerging country securities. Small and mid cap companies may have more limited product lines, markets, or financial resources and typically experience a higher risk of failure than large cap companies. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with derivatives, which may be different from and greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other investments. These factors can affect Fund performance.

Performance data quoted is historical. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that shares, on any given day or when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent quarter-end, go to quarter ending performance on our Website or call Lord Abbett at (888) 522-2388.

Class F - The inception date for Class F shares is September 28, 2007. The performance quotations for Class F are based on the following methods of calculation: (a) for periods prior to September 28, 2007, a restated figure is used based on the Fund's Class I performance, which does not have a 12b-1 fee, adjusted to reflect the Rule 12b-1 rate differential between Class I and Class F; and (b) for periods after September 28, 2007, actual Class F performance is used reflecting all charges and fees applicable to Class F shares.

Class F shares are available only to eligible fee-based advisory programs and certain registered investment advisers. For additional information, see the Fund’s current prospectus.

With Sales Charge - Returns with sales charges reflect applicable fees and expenses and include all distributions reinvested.

Without Sales Charge - Returns shown are without sales charges and have all distributions reinvested. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower.

Returns shown at less than a year reflect aggregate total returns.

Double-Digit Returns - instances of high double-digit returns were achieved primarily during favorable market conditions and may not be sustainable over time.

Indexes reflect total return, unless otherwise specified, with all dividends reinvested. Indexes are unmanaged, do not reflect the deduction of fees or expenses, and are not available for direct investment.

Lipper Category Average - Peer group averages are based on universes of funds with the same investment objectives. The average return for the peer group is based on the returns of each individual fund within the group for the period shown. This average assumes reinvestment of dividends.

Fund Expense Ratio Detail: Reflects expenses for the Fund's fiscal year-end and is subject to change. Fund expenses may fluctuate with market volatility. A substantial reduction in Fund assets (since its most recently completed fiscal year), whether caused by market conditions or significant redemptions or both, will likely cause total operating expenses (as a percentage of Fund assets) to become higher than those shown.
